Hi-Rez Studios’Smitewas first released on consoles with 17 gods and limited cosmetic options in 2016 and has since blossomed to include 121 gods and countless skins, avatars, emotes, and more. An upcomingSmitecrossover is bringing the world of Nickelodeon to the MOBA, including tons of cosmetic goodies and characters like Danny Phantom and Invader Zim.

Smite’s next significant crossover has been confirmed as Nickelodeon and players can expect to see the changes later this month as Season 9 continues. The most recent crossover forSmitefeatured the members of popularmetal band Slipknotand introduced two of the band’s songs to the vastSmitesoundtrack. Other crossovers that have appeared inSmiteover the years include the animeRWBY,Rambo,Stranger Things, andTransformers, with this new crossover adding to an already established lineup of Nickelodeon characters.

Smitex Nickelodeon brings with it Danny Phantom as Janus, Invader Zim as Cupid, Rocko fromRocko’s Modern Lifeas Danzburou, XJ9 fromMy Life as a Teenage Robotas Freya, and Powdered Toastman fromRen and Stimpyas Gilgamesh. These characters join Nickelodeon characters that have already been introduced asSmiteheroes with theAvatar: The Last AirbenderandTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescrossovers in the past. On top of the skins being added withSmitex Nickelodeon, there will be a dozen free cosmetics for players to unlock such as the Global Emote or Gir Jump Stamp, allowing Nickelodeon fans to express themselves in numerous ways.

Accompanying the announcement ofSmitex Nickelodeon, the crossover received a trailer that shows a lighter side of Zeus as he interacts with the cartoon characters before being slimed. The trailer givesSmitefans a brief glimpse at what they’ll see with the Nickelodeon crossover like Rocko riding a vacuum and wielding a remote, Zim riding an inflatable before summoning Gir with an army of Minimoose, and Danny Phantom shooting ecto-energy prior to opening a portal which presumably can be used to traverse the battlefield. Like inNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, XJ9 takes to the sky to unleash an aerial attack on her foes in theSmitex Nickelodeon trailer, while Powdered Toastman enters the arena with a ground pound as he fittingly wields a butter knife.

Based on the positive reception toSmite’s previous Nickelodeon crossovers withTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesandAvatar, manySmitefans are expressing the same excitement for this latest batch of characters. Several responses to the Nickelodeon trailer crossover voiced enthusiasm for each of the shows as well as Hi Rez Studios' ability to do all sorts of different kinds of crossovers rather than sticking to a tone or specific style. Some fans utilized the opportunity of anotherSmitecrossover to voice their hopes for future ones that include Cartoon Network,SpongeBob SquarePants,Fortnite,Berserk,Jimmy Neutron, and more.
